This week should bring some sunny days and warmer weather, perfect for a day out on the water!  With these warmer days, fish will be looking for deeper, cooler holding water as they get ready for the coming winter season.  Lower flows and crystal clear waters will mean smaller bugs - BWO”s and Midges in sizes #18-22 along with lighter tippet - 5X and 6X.  Fluorocarbon is a must for success this time of year, and nymph rigs will be the key to finding fish right now on the Poudre, but be sure to keep some small BWO and Midge dry flies ready for those early morning and late afternoon hatches, should they happen. 

It's the beginning of streamer season as well, as both browns and rainbows become more aggressive before the coming winter season.

Now that we have transitioned into the cooler months, the terminal tackle and flies will get more technical. Come pick our brains for tricks and tools to make the most of the coming winter!
